  • WHY COMPETITION in the POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA a Strategy for Reinvigorating Our Democracy
    SEPTEMBER 2017 WHY COMPETITION IN THE POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA A strategy for reinvigorating our democracy Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter ABOUT THE AUTHORS Katherine M. Gehl, a business leader and former CEO with experience in government, began, in the last decade, to participate actively in politics—first in traditional partisan politics. As she deepened her understanding of how politics actually worked—and didn’t work—for the public interest, she realized that even the best candidates and elected officials were severely limited by a dysfunctional system, and that the political system was the single greatest challenge facing our country. She turned her focus to political system reform and innovation and has made this her mission. Michael E. Porter, an expert on competition and strategy in industries and nations, encountered politics in trying to advise governments and advocate sensible and proven reforms. As co-chair of the multiyear, non-partisan U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School over the past five years, it became clear to him that the political system was actually the major constraint in America’s inability to restore economic prosperity and address many of the other problems our nation faces. Working with Katherine to understand the root causes of the failure of political competition, and what to do about it, has become an obsession. DISCLOSURE This work was funded by Harvard Business School, including the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness and the Division of Research and Faculty Development. No external funding was received. Katherine and Michael are both involved in supporting the work they advocate in this report.

  • Melissa Claire Egan and Marc Blucas Star in ‘Holiday for Heroes’ a New Original Premiering, November 8, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
    MELISSA CLAIRE EGAN AND MARC BLUCAS STAR IN ‘HOLIDAY FOR HEROES’ A NEW ORIGINAL PREMIERING, NOVEMBER 8, ON HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES Part of the Network’s Annual “Miracles of Christmas” programming event STUDIO CITY, CA – October 4, 2019 – Melissa Claire Egan (“The Young and the Restless,” “All My Children”) and Marc Blucas (“Season for Love,” “The Fix”) star in “Holiday for Heroes,” a new original premiering Friday, November 8, (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as part of the network’s annual “Miracles of Christmas” programming event. Audrey (Egan) and First Sergeant Matt (Blucas) have been writing each other since his thank you letter last Christmas, after her brother Devin – a corporal in Matt’s unit – shared some of the care package she’d sent. When Matt’s last letter to Audrey telling her that he’ll be stationed in her hometown for a month gets lost, she is surprised and delighted to finally meet him face- to-face in her coffee shop, and there are definite sparks. Audrey, who is once again hard at work on the town’s annual Holiday for Heroes event, honoring local service members, soon gets news that her brother and the rest of his unit won’t be home for Christmas. When the mayor later reveals that the town is pulling this year’s funding for Holiday for Heroes, Matt steps in to help Audrey save this important event. Working side-by-side draws the pair closer, but with Matt being stationed nearby only temporarily, neither is sure of sharing their feelings.

  • Wishin' and Hopin' and Thinkin' and Prayin' Genesis 29-30, Selected
    Wishin’ and Hopin’ and Thinkin’ and Prayin’ Genesis 29-30, selected verses Romans 8:26-39 “We know that all things work together for good for those that love God, to those that are the called according to his purpose….For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” What are we to make of this story in the wake of a week filled with equally, um, colorful characters and tumultuous events? On the surface, it is a story written to get us from the last singular patriarch to the twelve tribes of Israel, tribes that needed four women to produce them! Getting down and dirty, it is a rollicking account of passionate love and passionless marriage, of fecundity and barrenness, of deception and jealousy, that only belatedly mentions the God who keeps covenant in spite of and with the help of merely human wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’. The story begins at a well, where so many stories in the Bible begin. Boy meets girl. Girl runs home to tell her father of the meeting. Father gives his blessing so that the daughter who was the property of her father may become the property of her husband. The arresting addition in Jacob’s meeting of Rachel is what we in the 21st century take to be romantic love. When Jacob sees her with her father’s sheep, he rolls the stone off the well in violation of local custom and as a sign of his virility.

  • Fix It First, Expand It Second, Reward It Third: a New Strategy for America’S Highways
    DISCUSSION PAPER 2011-03 | FEBRUARY 2011 Fix It First, Expand It Second, Reward It Third: A New Strategy for America’s Highways Matthew E. Kahn and David M. Levinson MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy requires public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st century. Our strategy calls for combining increased public investments in key growth-enhancing areas, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Consistent with the guiding principles of the Project, Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. Fix It First, Expand It Second, Reward It Third: A New Strategy for America’s Highways Matthew E. Kahn University of California at Los Angeles David M. Levinson University of Minnesota FEBRUARY 2011 NOTE: This discussion paper is a proposal from the authors.
